Studying Makes Me Rich - Chapter 7

 As soon as Zhou Xiu finished speaking, the circle of underachieving students around her quieted down. "Together, let's win back our dignity?"

Her words sounded so passionate and exciting that it was hard not to answer with a resounding yes. But the nature of being an underachiever made them quickly sober up. Zhou Xiu saw the confusion in their eyes and said, "He insulted you all by saying you're not even as good as roasted pork. Don't you want him to take that back?"

When Du Fei Yang heard the reference to roasted pork, he became angry.

"Who the f*** does he think we are, roasted pork?"

Indeed, who the f*** were they, useless, worthless people? Each of them was an important figure in the school, but they were constantly being berated by Old Huang. He was not wrong when he said they were underachievers.

These students were all going to study abroad after graduating from high school, and they already had plenty of qualifications and certificates.

In this day and age, Ivy League diplomas could be bought with money. So what couldn't be bought? But Old Huang continued to stomp on their faces mercilessly. He did it once, and then again and again. Lu Se and Fei Wu were constantly on his mind and tongue, and it was enough to make one furious.

Zhou Xiu took out a test paper and slowly sharpened her pencil with a small knife. She said calmly, "His behavior is ugly and it's hard to bear that you've put up with him for so long."

"If you don't steam buns to get back at him, I want to be the first in math for our grade. You guys...just watch and cheer me on?" Zhou Xiu encouraged them reluctantly. Who could bear it? Even a new female student had the courage to challenge Old Huang, so why should they give up? "F***, I'll fight him!"

"Stomp him back!" "Make him realize his mistake!" An transfer student was so brave, what were they afraid of?

Suddenly, these students realized that Zhou Xiu was sticking up for them. She could have just been a good student and ignored Old Huang's insults, but instead she was standing up for them.

They couldn't let a female student/transfer student fight their battles for them. The underachieving students' blood boiled in their chests.

"I'll ask my dad to find me a new tutor!" "I'll never skip class again!" Hua Xi also listened to their conversation with a surge of adrenaline, pulling Zhou Xiu's ponytail, "I want to punch him in the face, and fight back for us! Xiu Xiu, help me!"

Zhou Xiu nodded and picked up the book beside her.

【Young lady, are you sure you can take the first place in math for the grade?】

The system was a little stunned. The impoverished student it sponsored had gone crazy. It was already late November, less than two months away from the final exams. It was not easy for a student from a region with limited educational resources to compete with a group of gifted and talented students.

Zhou Xiu didn't say anything, burying herself in a string of formulas.

【I'm not crazy.】

The system suddenly became excited.

【Ding - go ahead, climb the mountain of difficulties without fear, and the reward for taking first place in math for the grade is 1000 RMB!】

Zhou Xiu wasn't crazy. She had only seen everything about "Zhou Xiu" in her dream. She had forced herself to study hard in order to pursue Xi Shao Yuan and eventually placed in the top ten of her grade. If she could do all that for a man, then Zhou Xiu thought taking first place in math for the grade was also not a problem.

Could a man compare to the allure of money in Zhou Xiu's eyes? To her, money was the most important thing!

On this day, the underachieving students in Class 24 were unusually motivated, with only half as many sleeping in class as usual.

During math class, Zhou Xiu finished two papers and looked up to see a rare and harmonious atmosphere in the class.

She turned to see a boy sitting behind her with droopy eyes and a bobbing head, muttering to himself, "You can't sleep, Du Feiyang, you need to get into the bottom ten."

Hua Xi chuckled when she heard this. Zhou Xiu asked Hua Xi, "Do you have any goals in mind?"

Hua Xi thought about her situation and said, "I want to get into the bottom fifteen of the grade." Zhou Xiu fell silent. There was no need to hurt each other, both sides were at fault. She took out her well-organized notebook and handed it to Hua Xi, saying, "Take a look when you have time." Hua Xi took the notebook obediently, flipped through it, and began to copy it.

Zhou Xiu remembered her communication task and decided to help Hua Xi with basic knowledge.

 Ten minutes later, Hua Xi rubbed her almost exploding brain and said tearfully, "I can't take it anymore, Xiu Xiu, don't be so serious, take a break."

"How about drinking some water?"

 【Ding——Daily communication five times reward 5RMB.】

 Zhou Xiu smiled and took the water her desk mate offered her and drank it all at once.

After class, Zhou Xiu's front desk mate, Yu Qingyan, turned around excitedly and started gossiping with the two of them: "Sister Xuan, something big happened. I heard that the Rocket class's Lu Lingshan is now pursuing Xi Shaoyuan! She brought him breakfast today."

When Zhou Xiu heard the name Xi Shaoyuan, her pen paused briefly before quickly getting back to writing. Yu Qingyan sneered and said, "Now the boys in our class should give up, they've been licking our goddess for so many years, and now she's turned around and become Xi Shaoyuan's lapdog."

The term "lapdog" almost choked Hua Xi, who was drinking water. Yu Qingyan paused and continued to explain, "At first, the learning committee of the Wen Na class said they would confess to Xi Shaoyuan at his birthday banquet.

Then Lu Lingshan brought him breakfast today. Tsk tsk, these little fairies are more aggressive when it comes to grabbing men than anyone else." "Lu Lingshan is usually such a studious person."

Appearance of not talking about love, who knew that she would fall for Xi Shaoyuan's sportswear in the end. Now our Xi Shaoyuan has a nickname called "Immortal Slayer". 　　

Whether it's Lu Lingshan from Rocket Class or the study committee member from Wen Na Class, both are recognized as the top beauties in the grade. 　　

Especially Lu Lingshan, she has been the school flower of Yu Gao since the third year of junior high school for three consecutive years. 　　

After hearing what Yu Qingyan said, the girls around laughed out loud.　

"As long as Xi Shaoyuan doesn't date anyone, I will always love him!" 　　

The discussion around her became heated, but only Zhou Xiu buried her head and focused on writing the exam. 　　

After correcting the papers, the discussion had already entered a fierce stage. Zhou Xiu rested her head on the desk for a while, listening to the brainless fans of Xi Shaoyuan cheering. 　　

She silently thought: Isn't Lu Lingshan Xi Shaoyuan's girlfriend later on? 　　

He personally picked a bracelet worth over 300,000 yuan for Lu Lingshan, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back and completely broke the mentality of "Zhou Xiu". 　　

After school, Zhou Xiu borrowed five books from the library. 　　

After borrowing the books, she went to the school playground to run laps while reciting mathematical theorems and formulas. 　　

【Come on, young man, you look particularly handsome when you work hard!】 　　

At around seven o'clock, Zhou Xiu returned to the Xi family.

After entering the door, she found that the villa was dark and empty. She turned on the lights and found that the butler and maid were not at home. 　　

She put down her schoolbag and searched around before realizing that the butler and his wife had returned home for a funeral. The funeral came too suddenly, and there was no time for them to say goodbye to Zhou Xiu. 　　

"Is there anything else?" Xi Shaoyuan asked impatiently. 　　

Zhou Xiu shook her head. 　　

She wasn't worried about the food, as she picked up the freshly delivered ingredients from the refrigerator and started cooking. 　　

【Good cooking skills can improve your quality of life. Learn how to make "West Lake Vinegar Fish" and get a reward of 5 RMB】 　　

【Learn how to make "Mint Chicken Wings" and get a reward of 5 RMB】 　　

【Learn how to make "Garlic Ribs" and get a reward of 5 RMB】 　　

【Learn how to make "Snow Beauty" dessert and get a reward of 5 RMB.】 　　

The sound of the notifications kept ringing, and Zhou Xiu was in a good mood as she tied on her apron and washed the vegetables and meat. 　　

An hour later, the kitchen was filled with the fragrant smell of food, and Zhou Xiu brought the dishes to the dining table. 　　

She calmly took out the content she wanted to memorize today from her pocket and recited the words while eating.

Upstairs　　

After tasting the takeout, Xi Shaoyuan made a face and threw the delicate food into the trash can with a neat gesture.

Zhou Xiu saw the young master of the Xi family come downstairs, holding his phone and playing games aimlessly in the living room.

The earphones hung on his ears, about to fall off, but he was so absent-minded that he didn't even notice. That slightly absent-minded side face was handsome under the light, making people have the urge to kiss him. The light fell on his face, and you could see his thick eyelashes from far away.

The small mole at the corner of his eye was sexy and charming. Zhou Xiu used everything from the Xi family for her meal, and after a while, she realized that Xi Shaoyuan had not gone upstairs yet, as if she understood something. After hesitating for a while, Zhou Xiu asked, "Has Shaoyuan eaten yet?"

 Only then did Xi Shaoyuan exit the game, turn off his phone, and went to get a bowl of rice.

Tonight, there were also spareribs that Xi Shaoyuan liked to eat on the dinner table. Xi Shaoyuan, who noticed this, suddenly felt a little hard to swallow.

The girl at the dinner table didn't seem surprised by his arrival. There was a hint of blush on her cheeks, and she tried to act as if she didn't care.

She even took out a word book to study. All the girls in the school were guessing whether Xi Shaoyuan preferred girls with good grades.

Xi Shaoyuan's mood became inexplicably subtle. After finishing his meal, he reminded her in a casual posture, "Don't reveal anything at school.

" Zhou Xiu looked confused, raised her head, and the dazzling chandelier in the dining room made her squint her eyes. She had been staring at the word book for a long time, and her eyes were slightly sour, with red bloodshot eyes. Xi Shaoyuan looked at the girl's slightly reddened and expectant eyes.

His indifferent tone was like the cold wind in winter, "Don't tell anyone that you live in the Xi family, and don't say hello to me at school. It's better to stay away from me." Women are the most troublesome thing in the world.

They not only cry, fight, and get jealous, but also play mind games and can even cause people's deaths... Zhou Xiu remained silent and closed her word book. Was this young master of the Xi family suffering from severe paranoia?

Zhou Xiu felt insulted and gradually clenched her fists. Xi Shaoyuan said, "I don't like your type of girl." After only a few days of getting along, did this rich young master think she would fall in love with him for sure? Was he too confident?

Zhou Xiu stared at the ceiling and thought absent-mindedly. But when her gaze fell into his bright and serious eyes like a starry sky, Zhou Xiu seemed to catch a hint of thought in that moment.

Her eyes gradually narrowed with a sour feeling.
